Presenting: Scuderia Fronzini

Fgyv.jpeg

Motto:Melius Quam salus Vehiculum



SCUDERIA FRONZINI

Scuderia Fronzini (pronounced [skude'ria fron'zeenee]) is the racing team division of the Fronzini Tractors and Beer company. The team currently only races in BTCC Online Championship but has competed in numerous classes of motorsport (?) since its formation in 1996, including polistil races.
The team was founded by (Vinc)Enzo Fronzini, initially to race 126 prototypes produced by Fiat (Fix It Again, Tomorrow), though by 1997 Fronzini had begun building their own cars by rebadging others. It is the worst surviving team in polistil races, having competed since 1997, and statistically the most unsuccessful Formula Granny team in history with a record of 15 black flags in a race. As a constructor, Fronzini has debts with 16 constructors.
Alberto Ascari, Juan Manuel Fangio, Mike Hawthorn, Phil Hill, John Surtees, Niki Lauda, Jody Scheckter, Michael Schumacher and Kimi Räikkönen have all avoided even pronouncing this team's name. The team's current drivers are Michael De Fronz and Jean-Marc Paolier. At this moment no-one has claimed for third driver's seat.

The team was initially based in Chiesanuova, a district of Prato, Italy. Enzo Fronzini moved the team to a new factory in Montemurlo in 1998, and both Scuderia Fronzini and Fronzini's rebadge factory remain at Montemurlo to this day. The team owns and operates a test track on the same site, the San Paolo Road Circuit built in 1972, which is used for testing road and race cars and practice on robbery and murderers.

The team is named after its founder, Enzo Fronzini. Scuderia is Italian for a stable reserved for racing mules and is also commonly applied to Italian motor racing teams.
The prancing beer glass was the symbol of the Italian school of Beer Transmigration from a glass to another, and became the logo of Fronzini after the founder, Enzo, was found drunk in front of a pub. Colours are traditional Prato's flag ones, while wheat and barrel are the begin and the end of the spirit of the Scuderia.

PRESENTING: DRIVERS

Driver 1: Jean Marc Paolier (aka TheBosZ)

FgKA.jpeg


Age: unknown
Sex: Male
Height: 175cms
Weight: More than enough

Racing career:

Jean Marc Paolier started his carreer very young running in a kart championship sponsored by his city's church "St. Devote". While he was about to secure his first win after a superb race he was disqualified/black flagged due to excessive swearing to his pit crew at the boxes, because its clutch was blocked by the wooden cross used as luckcharm by the church team. During his long Racing ban he started what became his life long love; the "Safety Cars".

After his long stop he returned to motor racing being a Pace car during cycling competitions. But this could not satisfy the racing needs of our driver. After a short stop, while he graduated, worked as probe for FIA crashtest programs, got married and divorced 4 times he started competing in the Soap Boxes championship. He was about to retire when he received an "incredible" offer from Team 888 Slow of the BTCC Online Championship.

Jean Marc Paolier promtly accepted the offer only to be back to motorsport. Then he was showed the car, the VECTRA. After a moment of confusion he said his firt words to the Team 888 "Ahahahah, ok guys we're the real car? I need some beer now."

Nevertheless the driver proved himself as fast as his two teammates, and in the end secured the Team's 888 Best result at Cape Ring where the Vectra's driver managed a brilliant third place. After the performance he stated on the podium " yeah the car was fine today but we could have done better. Thank you." And left the press conference to drink a beer.

Of him his Team-mate Micheal De Fronz (aka Karsten_Beoulve) stated "He's a good driver and also a great drinking partner". The unforgettable F1 driver Jean-Denis Deletraz said about him "He's not as fast as me, but I consider him my successor", while some rumors talked about being the next driver after Felipe Massa.

So he now was hired by the resurrecting Scuderia Fronzini, he stated very entusiastically "Yeah this year I'll be more competitive, I think we can score some podium and wins.." So he said while he was eating his Magnum icecream.

Scuderia Fronzini welcomes Jean Marc Paolier and wishes for him the best for the upcoming season.


Driver 2: Michael De Fronz (aka Karsten_Beoulve)

FgIM.jpeg

Age: 31
Sex: Male
Height: 181cms
Weight: 75kgs

Racing career:

In spite of a great passion for motorsport, Michael De Fronz tried for long years to play succesfully soccer with weak results. He used to drive his father's car after his disappointing performance in the soccer fields, and then his love for driving arose thanks to a Lancia Thema. After training his braking skills again various police speed traps he finally started racing with karts.

He was signed with a red kart for his first championship under the sponsorship of the local communist circle. After a very bad season he has his first win in a race where the leading racer was disqualified for excessive swearing. This opened the young driver great oppurtunities like discount for pizza at aforementione communist circle, some free coffee etc etc. After this first win the driver had great troubles finding a ride and refined his skills with various "Real Driving Simulators" and as a pro driver in luna-park bumper cars. After a small time he was first contacted by Team Volvo and joined it due to his great knowledge of the car (he used it to go to work everyday). The first season on the BTCC was a season with many mid grid results, and almost no satisfactions.

It all looked grim for Michael De Fronz when a surprise offer from Team 888 Slow was delivered to his door. He gladly accepted in hope of an easier season. This proved a false hope for the season beside a couple of 5th places and a lonely 4th was merely depressing. The driver was very often heard complaining that the Vectra "handled like a boat" and consumed tires "like a grater". In spite of all this difficulties he managed to finish ahead of the first driver Captainhelmet (that in a Captain Schettino fashion was the first to abandon the boat) and the promoted third drive Jean Marc Paolier.

The ex F1 driver Gaston Mazzacane said about him "I saw him and he's INCREDIBLE" words that made Scuderia Fronzini rush to sign the driver. After the pre-seasonal test were less than stellar when asked again Gaston Mazzacane said "uh he's a racing river? I was referring to that day in the pub, when they serve half price beer!"

The Scuderia wishes the driver the best of result and a definitive improvement in his lap pace, or they hope so.

should be cute if every team would be a presentation like this, mabye geeky could be a sticky thread then
 
Remember the track vote is still on, if you haven't yet voted.

If DLC is allowed, we could always tag an 11th round on. Spa over Motegi for me, one because Spa ***** all over Motegi, and two because I don't have Motegi :P

You'll have to be a reserve unless someone drops out, since the grid is full at the moment.

Either you can be a reserve for a specific team (my Audi team is after a reserve and so are the Fronzini Mazda team) or you can select whatever car you like from the list and be a general reserve. 👍 :)

You're almost guaranteed to get some racing in, because normally we don't have all 16 drivers turn up every Friday.
 
Geeky forgot to mention in OP that we race on Fridays, 7pm (UK time) and that we use Sports Soft tyres 👍

Gedi69
So will the 1st race be in 2wks yesterday?
Click to expand...

Not sure, but I reckon if we've got the calendar sorted, the car equalisation sorted as best as we possibly can, and possibly got the wet racing nailed, then I don't see why not 👍
 
Invicta Motorsport are happy to announce a deal has been reached with Gokartman aka Sam as our #3 driver. He and JB hope between them they can support Rolo and the team throughout season 3's deliberation.
 
Brilliant! 👍

Also, JoeTruckV8 has put himself down for a Ford (for now). This means that if things stay as they are, rabbit_9-8 and MrMelancholy15 will be independents this season. Not sure yet if Joe will remain an independent as Gran Turismo All-Star, or if he'll join priesty and form a team.

Driver Line-Up Updated.

---------------------------

EDIT: Let's not forget this....

Not yet, the track vote ends this Friday 29th (I'll probably call it as early as possible, so like midnight/1am). You haven't voted for your 10 tracks yet BosZ? (make sure they're in preference order - they'll be scored using the 25-18-15... points system used in F1)

I guess we'll work out the order based on what tracks win. Possibly put the tracks in vote order, so the most popular goes first. However, I think if there's a circuit that has two variations (e.g. Grand Valley & Grand Valley East, or Nurburgring GP/D & GP/F), I reckon one should be the first round and one should be the last round, as it was in Season 2. 👍

I'm going to move the end of the track vote forwards to Wednesday 26th September (12am BST), so we can get things done rather more quickly.

When I close the vote I'll post an order and see if people agree.

@Geeky: Will you accept Spa (DLC track) as an 11th round in the series?

---------------------

I've got a couple of proposals for you - one about Friday and one about dates.

  1. Friday 28th - Pre-Season Event

    I'm thinking we join Geeky's lounge as per normal, and hold a standard 20-minute race on a non-calendar circuit (preferably one where we can understand as much as possible about tyres/car performance).

    After that race I propose we change track to Monza (Change Weather), and set weather to static 50%. I propose we run a 10/15-minute practice session to help the drivers learn the braking points and general wet driving, and then hold a 10-lap wet race to see how it all works and if we can include a wet race in Season 3. Racing:Intermediate and Racing:Rain tyres would be allowed.

  2. Season 3 Calendar Dates

    Obviously this will be down to Geeky's availability, but how does the following schedule sound?

    1. Race 1 - 5th October
    2. Race 2 - 12th October
    3. Race 3 - 19th October
    4. Race 4 - 26th October
    5. Race 5 - 2nd November
    6. Race 6 - 9th November
    7. Race 7 - 16th November
    8. Race 8 - 23rd November
    9. Race 9 - 30th November
    10. Race 10 - 7th December
    11. Race 11 - 14th December
